My baby is 6 weeks and I’m struggling to find a good baby bath that will support my baby the bath I have he slumps in it and it doesn’t hold him in place
Thanks

Shnuggle bath! It's great and he still uses it now he's 14 months old.

Shnuggle, or the Angelcare bath support in any bath.

The sink.
Then an over-bath tub but I'm not sure they do them any more. But if you can get one it will save your back.

Bathe together. A bath sat on your lap I have very fond memories and ds particularly screamed bathing any other way.

Shnuggle bath

WeaselMcWeasel · 10/06/2019 22:15

Skiphop 3 stage bath. It has a mesh bit for baby to lie in until they can sit up. So they're in the water but supported and you have your hands free. My DS loved it.

BertieBotts · 10/06/2019 22:15

You can only really bath together if you have a second adult to help you out though. DS2 goes in with DH and it's lovely but I help him get in and out so that nobody ends up slipping or with water everywhere.

Snuggle here. Frightening the first time u give it a try but its bloody amazing. Dd loves it.

blueskiesbrighteyes · 10/06/2019 22:35

Shnuggle. Tried the first time at 2 weeks but he was far too small but tried again at 7 and it's brilliant

Stokke Bath - had near enough daily use for DS who is still in it at 3.5 years! We used the newborn insert whilst he was little. Kept using it as saves water by not running the whole bath and DS can have a nice deep bath in it safely.

Yogurtcoveredricecake · 11/06/2019 07:28

Another Shnuggle bath vote. We used it until he started standing up in it!

DappledThings · 11/06/2019 08:25

Angelcare bath support. Goes in any bath and is pretty cheap.

Never got the whole sink thing. They still slip around and need your hands on them the while time. Bath support seat means you can have two hands free for splashing water around and it's far less scary.

owlofathena · 11/06/2019 08:34

Bath bloom pillow to go in sink.

theruffles · 11/06/2019 11:02

Angelcare bath support is brilliant. It fits in the bath, drys quickly and you don't have to hold them in place and try and bath them at the same time.

2beautifulbabs · 11/06/2019 11:14

Angel bath support is really good and you can use your own bath then with it in that's what I'm using for my DD and what my DS used once they had outgrown the baby bath

Sandybval · 11/06/2019 11:16

Seconded the skip hop bath! It's fab. If you buy one that goes into your bath maybe look at baby bath dams to save filling the whole bath!

Pinkmouse6 · 11/06/2019 12:01

The Shnuggle bath is absolutely fantastic, one of the best baby items I’ve ever bought.

Bloomburger · 11/06/2019 12:04

One of us always took the baby into the shower with them and just rinsed them off. We don't have the ridiculous screeching when they have to have their hairwash and I believe it is because they have always felt safe with water running over their faces.

Watchingthetelly · 11/06/2019 12:07

Another vote for the shnuggle

hormonesorDHbeingadick · 11/06/2019 12:44

Andcake how do you manage to get safely out?

MrsWidgerysLodger · 11/06/2019 12:46

Yet another shnuggle vote here. DD loved it and the shape of it was so supportive and made bathing a slippery baby a lot easier!

DailyFailAreTwats · 11/06/2019 12:50

Schnuggle here too. Saves loads of water not having to fill our big bath and she's been in it since birth. 9 months now. Found it second hand on eBay for £10!

HJWT · 11/06/2019 12:51

We had this with DD and will be getting one for DS, I like the fact you can just put them on and you don't need to support them in anyway xx

Notquiteagandt · 12/06/2019 09:13

My little girl was 5lb6 on discharge from hospital at 2wks old. I felt comfortable bathing her in schnuggle bath straight away. The high back and ridge help support loads
